Well, summer seemed fast in a way and dragged on forever in a way. I was kind of sad to see C start Kindergarten, but when time went really fast before he got back, I realized it wasn't such a big deal. Both of my boys didn't even say goodbye when I dropped them off. They were ready for their new adventure.
The second day when I woke C up he said, "Thanks for signing me up for Kindergarten mom." Anytime little sweetie! T missed them and I end up playing more play dough than I enjoy, but hopefully he will get used to them being gone.
Today, I'm working on a new chore chart. I'm kind of combining this website (Thanks Katie) with an idea from here. The website called Goalforit is a free interactive chore chart that you customize. The kids can click on things as they are completed and it keeps track. They also have a bank where you add points when things are completed and then you make a list of rewards and how many points they cost and the bank deletes.
Sounds confusing, but you should check it out and it makes more sense. Then I'm using the store idea from the Idea Room. I've gathered up treats, toys, etc. that we have been storing for when our kids deserved them (and then I realized they never will!) and put stickers with the cost on each of them. They can use their points to get something out of here or things like TV time, Jamba Juice etc. I also put consquences in their bank, and I will take away points for things like lying, not obeying, etc. I will let you know how it works out.
I think I will print out their weekly charts so we aren't constantly having to update on the computer and then on Sundays we will get on and fill it out.
I learned how to make ribbon flower hairbows.
C enjoys sucking on polar bears but not binkies or bottles. Does this picture remind anyone else of Sharon's baby pictures?
C is having a rare day nap in her bouncer. Lately she thinks life is too exciting to miss out by sleeping in the day! Oh well. she is mostly sleeping through the night so I can't complain too much.
Anyway, thanks to the baby swing I did get time to make a few headbands too. The first person to write a comment with their headband size (just take a tape measure and measure around where you want your headband to sit--don't worry I come from a big headed family your measurement won't shock me!) and is someone that I don't have to mail this too (sorry I barely grocery shop and I definetly don't go to the post office!) will win a headband.
I have always liked making things and being creative. However, someone else has to come up with the idea. And then I copy them. Anyway, I had completed two projects that I copied from blogs. One was a 
I thought they turned out pretty cute.
If you want to make them these links have fabulous and easy-to-follow tutorials to follow. With the flower clips I made mine I a little bit easier. I just took apart dollar-store flowers and threw away all of the plastic and centers. Then I stuck a brad or eyelet threw the holes. Someone even told me how to stick them to clips without glue. You just stick your brads through the flower and then through clips like these. No glue required. 
And making huckleberry pancakes, and looking forward to shakes and jam. Yum!
Eating so much ice cream at Grandma's ice cream social that one of us threw up in front of everyone. We won't name names.
And playing in lakes with friends.
Now, I have to pay for having fun and trying to post about having fun that I have to go tackle our mountain of laundry.
Making ice men to race during FHE-
But mostly to eat.
Making flower clips for the girl C and to give away.
Getting our faces painted down by the river.
T had a very important job-to be in charge of the fruit roll-ups. He took it very seriously.
